Dracaena goldieana Bullen ex Mast. & T.Moore (1872) 1232. — Neotype (designated here): Bull (1877), Retail list, No 129: t. VIII (iconotype).

Distribution — Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Ga- bon, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Note — The protologue describes a plant exhibited in 1872 by Robert Bullen of the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. No her- barium material of the original plant seems to have been preserved.Although we could not find direct proof of the statement by Bos (1984) that William Bull received plants of D. goldieana from Edinburg Botanic Garden, it is a highly likely assumption that William Bull received material from this same plant and published the drawing carrying that name in his Retail List ( Bull 1877). This drawing thus represents the material closest to the original cultivated plant and we decided to select that as the neotype.
